Wow, the way this data is presented is hilarious.

Log scale: Less than 3% done, but it looks like over 50%.

Estimated completion date: 10 March 2195

It would be less funny if they used an exponential model for the completion date to match the log scale.

Yeah, my personal opinion is that modules are dead on arrival, but I won't waste my time arguing with C++ enthusiasts on that.

Nah I'm a C++ (ex?) enthusiast and modules are cool but there's only so many decades you can wait for a feature other languages have from day 1, and then another decade for compilers to actually implement it in a usable manner.

		I am fine with waiting for a feature and using it when it's here. But at this point, I feel like C++ modules are a ton of complexity for users, tools, and compilers to wrangle... for what? Slightly faster compile times than PCH? Less preprocessor code in your C++.. maybe? Doesn't seem worth it to me in comparison.

I would think they don't want to hear that because of how badly they want modules to happen. Don't kill their hope!
